City of Pleasanton <br />Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br /> <br />18 <br />Action <br />ID # Strategies and Respective Supporting Actions <br />Anticipated GHG <br />Emissions Reduction <br />(MT of CO2e)1 <br />Community Resilience and Wellbeing <br />Strategy CRW-1: Improve community resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change <br />P16 Comprehensive climate awareness, education, and outreach: Implement <br />comprehensive public/private climate awareness, education, and outreach which <br />may include creating a method for the community to calculate their personal <br />carbon footprint, a new Library and Recreation program dedicated to <br />environmental conservation and stewardship for different age groups, and <br />“sustainability awards” recognizing community efforts presented annually. <br />2030: 5,490 <br />2045: 2,966 <br />S9 Wildfire preparation, prevention, and education: Reduce community <br />vulnerability and increase wildfire resilience by increasing awareness and <br />expanding outreach, modifying development regulations, identify and implement <br />controlled burns and other means to reduce combustible biomass and improve <br />early wildfire detection, and provide clean air shelters. <br />Secondary <br />Note: MT of CO2e = metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent <br />1 Secondary actions are those that may be implemented at a later date, but are not guaranteed. Secondary actions are not accounted <br />for in the anticipated GHG emissions reductions. Values represent reductions in that year compared to the BAU scenario (i.e., not <br />several-year-spanning compounded reductions). <br />Source: Compiled by Rincon based on information contained in the Pleasanton Final CAP 2.0. <br />The strategies and actions included in CAP 2.0 (shown above in Table 2), combined with Statewide <br />legislation and City initiatives, will enable Pleasanton to meet its GHG emissions reduction target <br />pathway, a linear pathway to achieving a 70 percent reduction in per capita GHG emissions from <br />1990 levels by 2030, which exceeds the State’s goal of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. <br />Table 3 shows the contribution of the Statewide and City initiatives in conjunction with CAP 2.0 <br />strategies and actions to reduce Pleasanton’s projected total GHG emissions in 2030. <br />Table 3 Pleasanton 2030 GHG Emissions Reductions from 2030 BAU levels <br />State Initiative Sector <br />GHG Emissions Reduction <br />(MT of CO2e) <br />Advanced Clean Cars Program On-road Transportation 103,931 <br />Renewable Portfolio Standard All Electricity 29,208 <br />Title 24 Residential Energy 1,338 <br />A.
